....''In one case, a teacher won £459,000 in damages after a nine-year-old pupil shoved her against a filing cabinet. She suffered severe back injuries. The NUT’s legal department said the boy was “wielding a metre rule and threatening classmates and refusing to put it down”.
“As the member approached him, he spun round and pushed her on to a filing cabinet with protruding handles, severely injuring the member’s back. The member had an immediate back operation but her condition deteriorated so she became wheelchair-bound and had to have considerable periods off work and a series of operations''' A Report by The National Union of Teachers, UK. Happened in UK. Source Today's Gulf Times

in proper place.

Lesson 2, watch out where are you falling or banged to.

It was an accident and the result was terrible. I wonder who will pay for it? The 9-year old?

Awfully large settlement for just being pushed. No wonder the British education system is going bankrupt.

You have to take all these UK 'injuries' with a pinch of salt, nearly three million ryals compensation and a lifetime on disability benefits (approx 12000 ryals per month), not a bad days work!

Out of reported cases ''.....There were 200 cases in the past year in which 53 teachers were injured & 76 cases involved criminal damages being sought after assaults.''

In this context if we start removing pupils from schools at that rate, there wont be any pupils left in some schools.....by the year end.

A teacher failed to study & identify this child's intention in time hence more harm to her.

Baburao, My sympthy with teacher but I doubt she might be wearing extra high heeled shoes that she lost control & could not resist and repel a nine years old 's shove.
